ok there are worse ways to wake up than by scrolling through the #artemis lunar flyby feed

What a beautiful moment.

The Orion capsule on the left, the crescent moon next to it, and the much smaller crescent earth next to it.

Holy wow.

Artemis is about to go behind the moon from our POV so that's Earth as it starts to slide behind the moon from the space capsule's POV!

The Artemis II mission seems good because it is.

People seem excited by it because they are.

It looks like a testament to the value of teamwork because it needs many people working together to succeed, and it’s succeeding.

One of the best things about this is how straightforward it is. Authentic.

The Artemis II crew just reported several impact flashes—explosions from hypervelocity impacts of meteoroids with the Moon—during the solar eclipse.

We make a big effort to see a handful of these from Earth with telescopes.

That astronauts flying by the Moon saw >4 in tens of minutes is AWESOME.

twenty minutes after this ☝🏻 post my dog jiggled the power strip cord out of the wall socket and i lost the entire day

The "conspiracy" meme, no text: White guy with thinning brown hair and a beard stands in front of a chaotic wall-sized conspiracy board covered in notes, red tape, and handwritten notes. He's grabbing one of the notes as he faces away from the wall towards the camera, other hand gesticulating with a "cigarette".

Five questions we're asking after the women's Tour of Flanders There was much more to De Ronde than Vollering's dominant performance.

There was much more to the women's Tour of Flanders than Vollering's dominant performance. Here's what we're left wondering. escapecollective.com/five-questio...

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

my #blueprince experience so far

Screenshot from the game Blue Prince: Standing in front of the house, which sits behind a large decorative pool of water. The facade displays dozens of architectural styles all in the same structure: brick, wood, stone, stucco, glass panels, Roman columns, Greek columns, etc.

Hello, World - NASA NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window after completing the translunar injection

we're gonna leave aside the hilarity that cyan *still* cannot resist adding yet another counting system to their games (lookin at you, obduction) and focus on the galaxy-brain move of using the counting as world-building:

Screenshot from the game Riven: Perspective from a bridge with rusty iron railings on either side, facing a rocky cliff. There's a rock-framed door and a cavern cut into the cliff, and warm light comes from the cavern. There's a weird golden bug mounted to the opposite wall, highlighted with spotlights. Another iron railing winds down the cliff to the left. Past the cliff on the left a huge golden dome is visible, and pseudo-palm trees line the cliff edge on the right.
